10 Best Digital Cameras

Do you want a small camera that requires minimal effort and capture beautiful things for you & takes great pictures? A pocket point-and-shoot is probably your best bet. Need to get close to the action without carrying an SLR with a big telephoto zoom lens? A bridge-style superzoom model is likely for you. Or do you want a lightning-fast shooter that lets you swap out lenses and play with settings? Then you want a D-SLR or a compact interchangeable-lens camera. Plan on shooting on the beach or the slopes? You need a ruggedized waterproof model.
